New Zealand Cycle Touring Route - Raetihi to Whanganui

This cycle ride starts in Raetihi and goes down the Whanganui river to Whanganui and is attractive because it is of the main roads and runs alongside the Whanganui river.
It is 29.4 kilometres from Raetihi to Pipiriki,which is on the river, and then it is 77 kilometres from Pipiriki to Whanganui going most of the way alongside the river. The road is mostly gravel and passes through historic settlements including Jerusalem and Ranana.



Narrow but not a lot of traffic
